“Lindsey was great with our pups while we were gone on vacation! She was always communicating with us and giving us updates and went above and beyond to make sure they were cared for. We would without a doubt have Lindsey take care of our dogs again!”

About: I truly focus on keeping pets comfortable by caring for them right in their own home, where they feel safest and most relaxed. I have a flexible part-time schedule, so I can give your pets plenty of attention and stick closely to their routines. I’m patient, confident, and experienced with a variety of temperaments—from playful puppies to shy or anxious dogs. My own dog is well-behaved, which has helped me learn how to reinforce good manners and calmly handle different situations. I treat every pet like they’re my own and pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and fully committed to giving your pets the best possible care. Because I work part-time, I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to focus on your pets throughout the day. I’m available most afternoons and evenings during the week, along with full availability on weekends for boarding or drop-ins. Your pet’s routine will always be my priority. I have one well-behaved dog at home, but most of the care I provide will be in your home so your pets can stay in their familiar environment. I always follow your instructions for feeding, routines, and house rules, and I take the time to make sure each pet feels safe and relaxed. I treat every home with respect and every pet like family.

“First time Rover user and Shannon did a great job. Did a video tour of the lay of the land, introducing the cats who all made a cameo appearance. Shannon followed up with a card on each visit, sending a picture. Was a good initial experience, will be using Shannon and Rover in the future.”

“Erica did a great job helping me with my two pups and agreed to help me out on such a short notice while I was away on a last minute camping trip. She sent me pictures of my dogs showing that they were in good hands and they looked happy and healthy when I arrived back home. I would definitely use Erica again in the future!”

About: Growing up with dogs, cats, horses and even goats - I’m no stranger to pet care and all that it entails. As a nurse, I have a rotating schedule that allows me to have frequent weekdays off so I can help you with your pets! Additionally, it means I have no qualms about veterinary care such as medications or special precautions for any pups who need it. I have my own Alaskan Husky, Dash, so I’m no stranger to puppy training, either. I’m happy to do whatever I can to make sure your doggo has the best day. My work schedule varies week to week, but I always have 4 days a week off to help out with your pup. On those days, my days are pretty free to accommodate your dog’s care needs! Refer to my Rover calendar for availability. I have a fenced yard as well as a very sweet young pup named Dash who can play with your dog if you would like! I live right near a great trail system for dog walks, but I also love to go for hikes if that’s what your dog needs, and I have a comfy couch for those who rather snuggle up with me while I read.

“To be honest, I'm disappointed with my experience. I don't like leaving negative reviews, but I feel it's important to provide honest feedback. I don't believe this sitter was particularly comfortable with cats. Some of the photos she sent actually concerned me, as my cats appeared stressed or unwell in several of them. She also allowed my cats onto the kitchen counter, which is not acceptable in my home. Additionally, she sent photos showing rugs and their harnesses knocked off counters and out of place. I had to point out that things had fallen and needed to be picked up before they were even addressed. When I returned home, the harnesses were still left in front of the door. Caring for my cats is a very straightforward job. They have an automatic litter box, automatic water fountain, and automatic feeder, so daily responsibilities are minimal - wet food, a treat, and try to get them to play. Unfortunately, the lack of attention to detail and effort was noticeable. I've used Rover before and had wonderful experiences with cat sitters who kept me updated with thoughtful messages, photos of my cats enjoying treats, playing with toys, giving me their arrival and departure notifications, and observations that helped put my mind at ease while I was away. Unfortunately, that was not the experience I received this time. Communication was sparse, and I felt like I was hearing very little from someone who was regularly entering my home and caring for pets that are incredibly important to me. The daily updates felt generic and lacked the level of care, engagement, and reassurance I was expecting.”

“Warren stepped up to check in on Nyx and Woody when we had a need at short notice. He made sure the dogs had food, water, attention and got their meds. He also took the time to clean up after old man Woody when he messed in the house. The dogs always looked happy in the check in photos. Would definitely book again.”

Kerri L.

“from initial Meet & Greet to constantly being reliable. After months of Sarah taking care of our two dogs we can't be happier. Knowing the harsh winter conditions of Alaska, we desperately needed someone who we could rely on. She showed up every time. The dogs are genuinely excited to see her and think of her as one of their own. Thank you Sarah!”

Patrick K.

“My kitties liked Katie when she first walked through the door, even my less social one. Katie gave specific details about their behaviour during her visit, which I really appreciate. Knowing they're comfortable playing around her is a good sign.”

Dael D.

“We had such a great experience with our pet sitter, Lucy! She took amazing care of our kitties, Dumbo and Lizzie, while we were away. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. Lucy was attentive, reliable, and clearly cared about making sure our pets felt comfortable and loved. We came home to two happy animals and everything in perfect order. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate sitter!”

About: Hello! I have 3 cats of my own, so I completely understand how hard it is to leave your pets behind, especially when they’re needy, spoiled, and used to lots of love and attention. When you’re away, I’ll make sure your pets are not only well cared for, but also comfortable, safe, and loved like they’re my own. I’m very experienced with cats and all their different personalities, from playful and social to shy and independent. I’m also comfortable caring for small dogs as I used to have a Chihuahua myself! Whether your pets need cuddles, playtime, feeding, medication, or just someone patient and reliable to keep them company, I’m happy to help. I’m a stay at home mom, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the day for check ins, feedings, playtime, and quality time with your cats. Because I’m home most of the time, I’m able to provide consistent care, attention, and updates while you’re away. I can often accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits as needed! I care for pets the same way I care for my own, with patience, attention, and lots of love. I always try to keep their normal routine as consistent and stress free as possible while their owner is away. In a client’s home, I make sure cats are fed on schedule, have fresh water, clean litter boxes, playtime, and attention based on their personality and comfort level. I know some cats love cuddles and interaction while others prefer space and quiet companionship, and I’m happy to adjust to their needs. I also provide updates and photos so owners can feel reassured while they’re away. Because I have cats of my own, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I’ll always treat them like they’re part of my family.

“Our girl was sad to see Sage go! Great job!”

“Alysa is very sweet with our pups. Communication is top notch and we feel peace of mind knowing they are in good hands. Thank you for all your help!”

“Michael, is an amazing dog sitter. He kept me informed on how the dogs were doing each time he dropped by. He sent me videos and photos of my “puppies.” My dogs instantly liked him and thoroughly enjoyed his company. I would highly recommend him to take care of your pets and I will be using him again.”

About: I am experienced with senior pets and medication administration, including insulin. I provide patient, attentive care with a strong focus on safety, comfort, and trust. As a functional, holistic practitioner, I deeply understand the impact that movement, purpose, and genuine joy have on overall well-being. After the passing of my sweet boy, I knew it was essential for me to continue pursuing those elements in my own life, and what could be more healing than spending part of my days with dogs? From as far back as I can remember, animals have been a light in my life. What I love most about them is their innocence, there are few things in this world that carry the same purity they do. Time spent with animals feels light and genuinely medicinal. That connection became especially profound for me in 2021, when I rescued my “soul” dog, a mangled senior left to roam the streets. Loving him taught me more about life, presence, and what truly matters than any other experience ever could. Though sadly he passed in 2025, the time we shared, while short, felt like an entire lifetime. As a functional, holistic practitioner, I deeply understand the impact that movement, purpose, and genuine joy have on overall well-being. After the passing of my sweet boy, I knew it was essential for me to continue pursuing those elements in my own life, and what better way than spending part of my days with dogs? I approach every walk and visit with safety, patience, and presence as my top priorities. I move at your dog’s pace, build trust gently, and stay fully attentive to their needs. My goal is calm, reliable care that helps your dog feel secure, loved, and supported every step of the way.

About: I have a pet I love and I want to treat others the way I would want someone to treat my dog. That’s what I do! I work 3 min from my house and have the ability to come home regularly to let my dog out and or work from home as needed. I like to walk, bathe (they are in my house) play and snuggle with pets. My dog also enjoys socializing and we walk to the dog park to play regularly.

“Benjamin was great! He was very accommodating to my last minute drop in request. He was receptive to my cats’ care needs. Would definitely recommend”

Hanna S.

“She shows her compassion and love for animals each time she accompanies your pet! I was comfortable each visit she had with my pets. She sent many pictures and videos so I can see my fur-babies mood, they were happy and healthy. thanm you!”
